TLDR : Answer Summary
The local customs officer in Jakarta has indicated that the Thai consular staff will have days off on December 24th, 25th, 27th, 28th, 31st, and January 1st. It's noted that December 27th and 28th fall on a Saturday and Sunday, and while Christmas is celebrated in some capacity in Thailand, it is not widely observed.

25th and 31st are listed on their website as holidays in 2025. 1st is holiday too, but 2026 calendar isn’t up

Interesting they celebrate Christmas. Christmas Day is not adhered at all in Thailand, except for Christmas trees at shopping malls and hotels.

local people are enjoying in the holidays and a lot people go travelling now. I don’t understand why they have day off on 31th December . The visa officers should know the expiry date visa for DTV applications

They should know how to arrange their work in advance if they have long term holidays

Anonymous participant Yes, I guess they should...but clearly, they don't really care, as they just work at their usual pace.
